Seeking Compensation from a Work Accident
Workplace accidents can have devastating consequences—physically, emotionally, and financially. In Woodbridge, NJ, injured workers may be eligible for compensation through workers' compensation benefits, third-party claims, or both.
Workers' Compensation
In most cases, workers are entitled to benefits regardless of fault. These benefits may include:
- Medical expenses
- Temporary disability benefits
- Permanent disability benefits
- Vocational rehabilitation
However, filing a successful claim can be complex, and employers or insurance companies often attempt to deny or minimize benefits. That's where a skilled Woodbridge work accident lawyer can make all the difference.
Third-Party Liability
If your injury was caused by someone other than your employer—such as a subcontractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer—you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit. These claims can provide compensation for:
- Pain and suffering
- Lost earning capacity
- Future medical costs
- Emotional distress
Palmisano & Goodman, P.A. will explore every legal avenue to maximize your recovery. Our team has decades of experience litigating construction and workplace accident cases throughout Woodbridge and Middlesex County.
FAQs About Construction & Workplace Accidents in Woodbridge, NJ
What should I do immediately after a work accident?
Seek medical attention right away, even if your injuries seem minor. Report the incident to your supervisor and document everything—take photos, collect witness statements, and keep a copy of your medical records.
Can I sue my employer for a workplace injury?
Generally, you cannot sue your employer due to workers' compensation laws. However, if a third party contributed to your injury, you may file a personal injury lawsuit against them.
How long do I have to file a claim in NJ?
You must notify your employer of the injury within 90 days, and workers' compensation claims should be filed within two years of the accident. For third-party lawsuits, the statute of limitations is typically two years from the date of injury.
